Using Your Saw
8. Using the Miter Gauge:
The miter gauge included with your saw allows
you to easily make miter cuts and perform cross-
cuts (cuts across the grain of the wood). When
not in use, the miter gauge can be stored in the
brackets formed on the front of the motor cover
(see Fig. 32).
The main bar of the miter gauge ts in the slots
in the table which are located on either side of
the blade. The miter gauge can be used in either
slot; however, do not use the miter gauge in the
slot on the left of the blade when making bevel
cuts. Positioning the miter gauge in the left slot
when making bevel cuts causes the blade to be
tilted toward the miter gauge and the operator’s
hand which could result in a serious injury.
7. Using the Riving Knife:
The riving knife should be used whenever the
blade guard cannot be used. The only operation
where neither the guard nor the riving knife can
be used is making dado cuts. To use the riving
knife, remove the blade guard and install the
riving knife as described on page 20. When
the blade guard / riving knife clamping bracket
is properly aligned, the riving knife will be
positioned below the top of the blade and inside
the kerf of the blade. As a result, the riving knife
can be used even for rabbet cuts and other non-
through cuts.
For successful operation, the riving knife must
remain at so that the full height of the riving
knife is positioned inside the kerf of the blade. In
the event the riving knife becomes bent, replace
it or have it straightened before continuing to use
it. When not in use, the riving knife can be stored
on the guard / riving knife storage pin on the left
side of the cabinet (see Fig. 3 on page 14).
WARNING! Use the riving knife for every operation where the blade guard cannot be used.
Neither the blade guard nor the riving knife can be used when making dado cuts.
